"...music runs deep in the singer-songwriter vein, with a little classic rock thrown in for good measure... Love it!" Yoga Chicago Magazine
Artist X is a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist who has decided to release his music anonymously via the internet in an effort to keep the focus where it should be - on the music! Previously, Artist X had been pursuing a music career using his actual name. Although he hadn't exactly achieved worldwide fame, he had achieved a modest level of success in the music industry and his music had in fact been heard by millions of people. He decided to change the subjcect matter of his music and his role within the music industry after he went through what he describes as a personal and spiritual transformation.
Drawing from a wide variety of spiritual and metaphysical influences, Artist X writes songs that are infused with uplifting messages based on timeless principles that have exsited throughout the ages. Some of the writers Artist X's music has been influenced by include: Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer and many others.
Musically Artist X draws from a rich variety of influences including Pink Floyd, Phish, Nick Drake, Sujfan Stevens, Joseph Arthur, The Beatles, Belle and Sebastian, Wilco, Elliot Smith, Sufjan Stevens, Ryan Adams and much more.
Artist X's debut EP, Light, was released on January 23rd, 2007. This seven song CD contains the fan favorites "All Things Subside" and "Light" as well as five other original Artist X tracks.
Here are a few emails we've received regarding Artist X:
I was impressed by the three tracks on your site. Good stuff. The vibe was great, the chord changes interesting, the lyrics solid, the guitar playing sweet.
...was quickly led to your beautiful music. I listened with the open heart that it was so graciously offered and as tears fell, felt inspired to write you then……
Dear Artist X, I am just listening to your music online. I really like it and am hooked. I get your point about rather listen to the music then “being” someone, although now I am curious..

Wow!! you're REALLY GOOD! I wasn't expecting you to be good.. I was kinda expecting you to be, you know, myspace-y… but you're actually AMAZING. I'm still listening.
